Estuary & Mudflats

Portland, Maine Mud

This site is very close to I-295, in fact so close that it is obscured from the highway. Mud is black and smooth about thigh deep.  Best access is by kayak or other small boat. Parking and clean up are a problem from the shore side.  Assess is from half tide on down.

Portland, Maine Deep Mud

Skittery Gusset  Creek becomes a tidal creek at the road.  The creek flow is good for clean up. There is a lift station at the road with a parking lot that been closed to public parking, but is still good for bicycle or foot access.  Mud access is at half tide and below.  The creek mus is mostly only a few inches deep, but there are two springs in the wide section (see Map) that provide the ability to get chest deep.  Scramble down the bank and follow the creek for about 200 yards.  The best mud is on the west side.

Deep, Smooth, Clean Mud

This is a tidal marsh with a fresh water stream that flows in.  Mud is knee to neck deep with out shells, sticks or rocks etc. The mud is black and is without odor.  It washes off cleanly.  Can be accessed by walking across the marsh grass or by kayak or small boat but is only available from half tide on down.

A19 Beck

Just underneath the A19 flyover bridge in Stockton layes the small muddy beck to which most local mud fan of teesside enjoy -
the main part of the beck is used as a overflow from the river tees (the other side of a gate system) tho up stream the beck opens out to a public sight not best visited.

The River Tees

Just off the main roads in the centre of Teesside next to the former heavy cemical works is a small out of the way river creak just off the main neck of the river tees near Newport bridge theres easy cover on both side of the creak once the river has dropped leaving a lovely wet area up to 3 feet in some places.

Mersey Estuary, Wigg Island, Runcorn

Muddy creek in Mersey Estuary with a nice waist-deep pool of creamy smooth liquid mud, great for full immersion wallowing - I do it in just Speedos.  Even at low tide there's plenty of water nearby to wash off afterwards. Access very easy from Wigg Island Community Park.  Not very private so best after dark.  Check that tide is out first.

Slippery and private

Next to the railroad bridge, nice and private for some sliding and squishing!

Harperleas Reservoir Fife

To the west of the reservoir is a section that leads into a stream and this is the best section for really deep mud. I used to visit this place very regularly in my wellies and get completed mucky as hell. Can wash it off in the water too before getting back to the car.

It's along the side of a rambling path so it's occupied with passers by during the afternoon and weekends, but is usually deserted on summer/autumn evenings. This was my favourite mudding and wellie adventure playground for years till I moved away.

Southeastern PA

I'd call this an "estuary or mudflat" as it is alongside/near the Susquehanna River in southern PA between York and Harrisburg. Easy to reach from I-83.
Really having trouble with this pointer on the map, so do NOT go by these coordinates. Contact me if you want directions.

Several good areas with dark brown mud, some clay, some with vegetation. No vast mudflats, but nice patches, a pretty scenic, wooded area.
